Abstract
Description
- It is known that microencapsulation is a technique that offers a number of advantages in front of other formulation techniques in the field of Agrochemistry.
Modern agricultural practice requires controlling the application of biological active components to the target. This allows: to increase compounds stability over extended periods of time, to reduce environmental hazards, to decrease acute toxicity, and to deal with incompatibility between ingredients. Fluids are used as functional inerts in high technology formulations, e.g. allowing encapsulation of solid active ingredients and adjusting the diffusion rate of the active substance.
Several basic processes have also been disclosed, that can be divided into coacervaion, interfacial polymerization and in-situ polymerization. Most commercially available CS (microcapsule suspension) formulations are manufactured by interfacial polymerisation, e.g.: Chlorpyrifos CS, Lambdacyhalothrin CS, Fluorochloridone CS, and Methylparathion CS. When dryied, they may form water dispersable granules containing microcapsules. A typical method of CS manufacture by interfacial polymerisation is to dissolve the active ingredient, monomers or prepolymers in a fluid (oil phase). The latter is dispersed into the water phase, which contains emulsifiers, protective colloids (and eventually additional prepolymers). The capsule wall around the oil droplet is formed by polymerisation at the interface of water and oil in the presence of a catalyst or by heat.
Many wall-forming materials are available for the encapsulation of liquid or solid active ingredients. The release rate of the latter can be adjusted by selecting the optimum - wall materials,
- dimensions of the microcapsules (diameter and wall thickness),
- porosity of the wall (degree of cross-linking),
- protective colloid(s),
- fluids (in oil or in water).
- Fluids (solvents), in addition to their ingredients dissolving role, are influencing the emulsion quality by maintaining a low viscosity during the emulsification and polymerization steps.
No prior art leads to an obvious solution for the problem addressed in this invention (basic unitary process for different formulation types and mixtures of active ingredients). - On of the most difficult tasks to achieve is to get capsule suspensions or water dispersable granules (WG) formed with micocapsules in common processs for herbicides, funicides and insecticides, and their mixtures -both of activity and different active ingredients- in such a way that this process facilitates the industrial production of such agrochemicals because of the use of the same technology and the same process, and, basically the same coformulants. We have been unable, for the first time ever to find a common microencapsulation and spray dry process not only for encapsulation of different types of molecules but also incompatible molecules that up o now, no Company has been able to apply in an Industrial way. Therefore the scope of this invention is to facilitate the production of agrochemical formulations in the form of capsule suspension (CS) and/or ZC and/or WG in a unified production process. Also is object of the invention to potect the microcapsules, CS, ZC and WG formulations of active ingredients never encapsulated before in these type of formulations and also the process characterized in that selected coformulants, wall forming materials are both able to reach a CS formulation and, at the desire of the producer, to proceed further without essential changes to spray dry this CS to form a WG of microcapsules. Further, our novel process allows combinations not possible o market until now, as is the case of mixtures of fluroxypyr with sulfonylureas of an kind (this was not possible before due to cemical incompatibility and also due to the proper selection of cofomulants that allow the stability of both type of ingredients, and a functionally good formulation with excellent dispersibility poperties.
- For example, according to prior art we have hardy tried make WG of microencapsulated fluroxypyr using the known methods of making WG of chlorpyryfos (both processes of Beestman and Muliqueen -Monsanto and Dow), with unsuccessful results. In both cases we obtain a wet sieving residue of more than 10%, ofwhich 50% corresponds to crystallized fluroxypyr outside of the micocapsules This is easily understood insofar, the formulation technology is a very complex chemistry field, where many parameters influence at the same time: compatibility of active ingredients with the wall forming materials, surfactants, coformulants, temperature of granulation, etc.
- At the view of the state of the art, it is not obvious how to microencapsulate fluroxypyr, a fact that is confirmed by the non-existence of any microencapsulated fluroxypyr available in the marked anywhere in the world. The selection of the wall forming materials, the conditions of the reaction and, extremely important, the coformulants can only be achieved after a long period of extensive research involving novel ideas not available before. Also, it it described in an enable disclosure for the first time how to microencapsulate fluroxypyr, add a sulfonylurea and spray dry to obtain a novel combination of fluroxypyr and sulfoylureas (also chlorpyrifos and sulfonyureas). For incorporation of sulfonylureas plus other actives microencapsulated, accoding the present invention they are milled to form a suspension concentrate (SC), and then the CS suspension is added to the SC. Optionally the SC contain other sulfonylurea-compatible agrochemicals and optionally the microcapsules contain a mixture of several acives compatible in between them. One of the novelty aspects of this invention is the ability to have an "oil phase" (inside microcapsules) where the only requisite is that in such phase the oil soluble materials are compatible, and a "water phase" where the same requisite applies, but it is not necessary that the oil soluble actives and the water soluble acives are compatible in between them.
- In fact, the present invention has its more powerful sense when the active ingredients in and out- of the microcapsules- are incompatible in the broad sense, namely, that the activity is reduced because any reason including chemical reaction in between incompatible materials, adsorption, crystallization induction, etc.
- Chlorpyrifos microcapsules in the form of water dispersable granules are known from a number of patents of Dow and Monsanto. However, the processes so far disclosed differ in the process of the present invention. We have invented new ingredient lists where the functionality and rote of essential coformulants that unexpected properties and as well the use of a water-insoluble catalisyt in the form of an emulsion to control the speed and degree of polymerization of the microcapsule's wall, and the improved dispersibility and suspensibility of the present formulation when compared to the prior art. Also, the use of our wall foming materials lead to a taylor made release rate, easier to predict and control than when conventional microencapsulating techniques are used.
Fluroxypyr on the other side has neve been described in microencapsulated form, at least in a enable disclosure, and lesser having the extraordinary formulation poperties described herein regarding also particle size, and long term stability, and w.hen in WG (CS) formulation, the high dispersibility and suspensibility properties - For the purpose of the invention, the preferred materials are those having a low melting point as one of the materials to microencapsulate, at least one of the actives (if chosen to be more than one) to be inside the microcapsules. Outside of the microcapsules, optionally it is used a sulfonylurea or any suitable agrochemical. The invention is better understood with examples.
- A typical composition to microencapsulate would be, for fluroxypyr, as follows (in w/w %):
Fluroxypyr ester (meptyl, 2-butoxymethylethyl, etc.) 50.0 PAPI/Desmodur 44V20L 3.50 PowderLink 1174(40% in g-Butyrolactone) 1.25 - Water Phase
Synperonic PE/64 0.60 Metasperse 500L 10.00 Citric Acid 0.14 Catalyst( Triethyl amine 20% emulsion) 0.25 Water 34.26 - Both water and oil phases are warmed up to about 70-80 °C, in order to have the active ingredient in liquid form (in this case fluroxypyr, in other cases, this temperature may be higher or lower according the meltin point). Although inclusion of solid acives or coformulants is possible we do not enter into detail for the sake of simplicity.
- Up to this step we can find enormous differences with respect to prior art. Some processes, instead of using the warming step, use the dissolution with Solvesso (patent documents of Monsanto on Chlorpyrifos, for example). This has the disadvantage that at the end of the spraying dry step (if this "single process technique is used"), the solvesso is partially evaporated due to the hot conditions of spray drying, leading to an increased unencapsulated material and increase of crystals outside of the microcapsules. Other processes, as those of Dow for Chlopyrifos, have the inconvenience that the surfactant/dispersant systems reach the cloud point and then those documents do not enable the use of a single unique process that allows to stop at the time of the CS formation, or proceed further with an spray-dry to create WG or even to poduce a mixture formulation of suspension concentrate+capsule suspension (ZC formulation) .
To be able to have a "standard processmulti-purpose" is needed that the surfactant system (including dispersants and wettings) has two properties: 1) be able to be stable at a wide range of pHs, to be able to be used for encapsulation of different actives and 2) have a cloud point over the melting point of the desired agrochemical to encapsulate, concomitantly, preventing phase inversion during the process. - We have surpressively found that indeed exist such surfactant systems, in particular those based in the use of th Metasperse 500L or Metasperse 550S type of dispersant and a Symperonic PE/64 surfactant-wetting agent. Other options to replace the Symperonic PE/64 are ethoxylated/popoyxylated alcohols, such Tergitol 15-S (secondary alcohol series), Tergitol TMN( ramified) or Tergitol XD or XDLW (EO/PO copolymers). These alcohols (ethoxylated and/or propoxlated) are selected according a cloud point over the temperature used for melting the active ingredient, that in the case of fluoxypyr is about 75 °C. Regarding the Metasperse 500 series, we have not found any other better dispersant for the purposes of both being able to have a good CS suspension, to spray dry it and have a good WG formulation or to mix with an SC to have a good ZC formulation. Further we have found amazingly that the properties of Atlox Metasperse 500L in order to prevent Ostwald ripening forces and agglomeration processes is valid for all formulations of the type CS, ZC and WG (of capsules), making our desired target of an "unified" process for different formulation times a reality. In particular, and referring to chemical properties rather than to brand names (Metasperse 500L, 550S), the type of compounds preferred are styrene acrylic polymers, but more preferentially, and with evident better performance anionically substituted styrene acrylic polymers, being this anionic substituents being chosen from a wide range, preferably, but not necessarily from sulphonates and phosphates.
- Regarding the process, both mentioned phases are mixed (emulsionated) at a suitable speed of an ultraturrax type mixer (e.g., 2000 rpm) for a short time (e.g., 10 minutes), adding the catalizator short after the emulsification step begins (e.g., 1 to 3 minutes) till obtaining a particle size of about 1 to 30µm, being obvious that other sizes may be selected. Then a cooking process is initiated, for some hours (typically 2 h), and the capsules are hardened. A cooling and filtering step follows to obain a agriculturally suitable CS formulation of fluroxypyr (or of any other agrochemical that is solid at room temperature and with a low melting point -below about 110°C, as far as the surfactant does not reach the cloud point).
- According to the spirit of the invention, we are able to proceed with this "ready to use" formulation to form a ZC formulation. This can be easily achieved by providing a customary SC of a suitable agrochemical, particulary important a sulfonylurea or mixtures thereof, for example metsulfuron-methyl. An example of the composition of the metsulfuron-methy concentrate is:
Ingredient (metsulfuron conc.) water 34,02 Metasperse 500L 26,74 Geropon DOS/PG 5,40 Dispersing Agent LFH 0,49 Antifoam 0,26 Metsulfuron techn. 33,09 SUM 100,00 - Both the fluroxypyr CS and the methsulfuron-methyl SC may be mixed in the desired proportion to obtain the desired final formulation of acive ingredients, having the metsulfuron-methyl SC the necessary coformulants for a perfect formulation stability.
- To be more explicit, a ZC formulation Fluroxypyr+Metsulfuron can be done accoding the process described with the following ingredients.
Ingredient (water phase) Synperonic PE/L64 (pure) 0,23 Metaspherse 500L (30%) 3,85 Citric acid 0,05 Catalysator (dibutyltin laurathe) 0,10 Water 13,18 SUM 17,41 (Oil phase) Fluroxypyr-ester 19,23 PAPI/Desmodur 44V20L 1,35 Powderlink 1174 (40% in g-Butyrolactone) 0,48 SUM 21,06 Ingredient (adjustment mix) Metaspherse 500L (30%) 16,45 Geropon DOSIPG 3,32 Dispersing Agent LFH 0,30 Antifoam 0,16 Urea 18,40 Metsulfuron conc. (~31%) 1,97 water 20,93 SUM 61,53 TOTAL 100,00 Final: 38,47 wt% Fluroxypyr CC
61,53 wt% Adjustmend mix - If the desire is to make a WG from the CS obtained above (fluroxypyr CS, optionally other actives replacing/added to the oil phase) or from the ZC mentioned just above these lines, then the mixture must be adjusted for the purposes of spray drying. We have invented a surpesively easy solution to prepare the CS or the ZC for the spray drying step. The content of the styrene acrylic polymer may vary in between 1 to 45% in w/w in the final formulation.
- This consists on the addition to the water phase, in which the microcapsules are suspended of a further quantity of Metasperse 500 Series (or any similar dispersant type of the same chemical class (modified styrene acrylic polymer or anionically modified styrene acrylic polymer, more preferably of the second class) in an amount of 2 to 20 % in w/w related to total weight of liquid to spray and from 0.1 to 15 % of any sulfosuccynate available in catalogs for the agrochemical industry (e.g., Clariant, Uniquema, Cognis, etc) or similar type of chemical.
- Then the product is spray dryed at a temperature of the product slightly below the melting point (e.g., for Chlopyrifos 35°C, for the example above 40-45 °C) and a temperature of the air of 70-75 %. Normally the WG consisting of microcapsules is deemed to be enough dried when the humidity is below 0.5%.
- Therefore, we have shown how following a common pocess a fluroxypyr CS may be converted into a ZC without any particular changes directed in the process of making the CS, and the same to end up with a WG of fluroxypyr and metsulfuon.
- One of the main targets of the combination of microencapsulated material mixed with unencapsulated materials is to achieve a longer stability of the most labile compound.
- A test on the storage stability was performed with the following results:

Fluroxypyr, to certain extent, also degradates: the fact that in cold fluroxypyr is reasonably well conserved means that in a non-microencapsulated flurosypyr WDG (with a sulfonylurea) the reaction of degradation takes place on the finished product, and not during the production of the WG.

This class of surfacgants shows to:
- 1- Provide a very good dispersion of the microcapsules
- 2- Provide a perfect compatibility with an SC, where the same polymer can be used as a dispersant.
- 3- Provide an exceptional granule's coformulant that improves the dispersibility over WG of microcapules prouced with state of the art techniques.
- To illustrate this, we show how the invention can be used for the production of microencapsulated chlorpyrifos, adding to the CS formulation (ready to use in the field as such) some "helpers" (included in the second adjustment mixture) for the granulating step and obtaining very high dispersible granules with low wet sieven residue, and very important almost unnapreciable unencapsulated material.
- The formulation of Chlorpyrifos 750 g/kg WG (CS) consists of two components, a capsule suspension and an adjustment mixture. The capsule suspension works as base for different formulations depending on the adjustment, like 240 g/L CS, 400 g/L CS and 750 g/kg WG. The target is to achieve both a "ready to use" CS formulation, and for the costumers interested in having a WG (CS), to be able to use the same produced CS and proceed to spray dry. For development of the given formula of Chlorpyrifos 75 WG (CS) two hundred capsule suspensions have been done during the development, being adjusted with hundred eighty different adjustment mixtures. Only those formulations containing styrene acrilyc polymers, and particulary phosphated and/or sulphated substituted styrene acrylic polymers are improving state of the art formulations of Chlorpyrifos 700 g/kg. The formulation with best results is as follows:

Some details to handle this unique type of catalyst in the microencapsulation field is that The components of the Catalyst are mixed together using an ultrasonic bath or Ultrathurrax to homogenize in no special order at room temperature. Care has to be taken that the catalyst will separate within 24 hours and therefore should be homogenized prior to addition.of the catalyst was prepared by mixing the components for 100 mL (water, Symperonic PE/L64, Triethylamine) by simple shaking in a bottle. In fact the catalyst in chemical sense is the triethylamine, but the real "catalyst" in the practice is this emulsion (comparable to platinum alone and platinum in carbon support).

The inventors have only achieved this result thanks to the unexpected properties of the (optionally anionically substituted) styrene acrylic polymers.
- Important to say, any other formulation do no containing styrene acrylic polymers as in the formulation yielded a product below FAO specifications, in particular regarding suspensibility (<50%), dispersibility (<10%) and wet sieving residue(>5%).
- The examples show how chlorpyrifos, fluroxypyr and metsulfuron-methyl are greatly benefited from the present invention. It is clear that any sulfonylurea would be protected as well when combined with fluroxypyr or any other agrochemical with similar characteristics regarding melting point.
- We have also performed the microencapsulation as above described with diflufenican alone and in combination with nicosulfuron, with the same good results.
- Other sulfonylureas that may be used in the present invention are:
- Amidosulfuron, azimsulfuron, bensulfuron, chlorimuron, chlorsulfuron, cinosulfuron, cyclosulfamuron, ethametsulfuon, ethoxysulfuron, flazasulfuron, flupyrsulfuon, foramsulfuron, halosulfuron, imazosulfuron, iodosulfuron, mesosulfuron, nicosulfuron, oxasulfuron, primisulfuron, prosulfuron, pyrazosulfuron rimsulfuron, sulfometuron, sulfosulfuron, thifensulfuron, triasulfuron, tribenuron, trifloxysulfuron, triflusulfuron, tritosulfuron: and all their common derivatives such methyl, meptyl, etc. esters.
- Other similar agrochemicals (or their mixtures with or without fluroxypyr and/or chlorpyrifos) as fluroxypyr (for combination with sulfonylurea or not) may be selected from the group of all agrochemicals that are solid at room temperature and with a melting point at atmospheric pressure lower than 110°C.
Particulary interesant all triazole fungicides, in particular propiconazole, tebuconazole,. - The sulfonylureas, for the purpose of protection against degradation may be well encapsulated according process using anionic substituted acrylic styrene polymers as dispersing agents, and optionally, encapsulated in such way that the encapsulation reaction takes place thanks to an emulsified catalyst (a polyamine). They may be as well microencapsulated according the
European Patent Application EP 06006748 - The selection of cofomulants for the creation of the CS, SC, ZC and WG formulations are in no way limited to the compounds mentioned in the examples: what is important is that the chemical class of chemicals remains as closer as possible. For example isocyanates as wall forming materials, polyamines or alkyltin fatty esthers as catalysts, sulfosuccinate addition before spray drying, etc. The wall forming materials may be composed of mixures of isocyanates or mixtures of aromatic isocyanate(s), aliphatic isocyanate(s) and glicoluril derivatives having the four hydroxylgroups substituting the four nitrogen atoms of the five membered cycle replaced by a alkyloxyalkylen group, where alkylene has the meaning of methylen, ethylen, isopropylen, and alkyl the meaning methyl, ethyl, isopropyl.
